My 'new' Paddy Wagon. It's been fitted with new wheels, forks, brakes, seatpost (just managed to break the clamp, anyone know where to get USE spares?).

I've just replaced the saddle with a Charge grey one, need to fit new tape and ideally new brake hoods or perhaps - I'm thinking - new levers on the top bars instead.

(how do you insert images )

like this you mean? First button on the left, or use this with square brackets instead -> {img}url for pic{/img}

Looks nice - why do you want to replace the brake levers? They look like the nice comfy tektro ones.

Oh, and chain's a bit slack

Cheers, I tried that and it didn't work, must have done something wrong!

The chain is right now. The hoods are worn/split and I can't seem to find replacements, but a new pair of levers can be bought for under £20. Nothing wrong with them, but I'm finding I'm riding on the bars more than the drops. I'm not really used to it yet though!

That is a fine looking bike

I hope you have many happy times together!

I've always been fond of Konas. I miss my Super Delux Mtb

Great looking bike that

Coincidentally I saw a Paddy Wagon yesterday for the first time and it's a good looking bike. The owner also said it was great to ride. (Put some mudguards on though) and enjoy.

I like the twin machine guns.

Now with added mudguardy goodness

Cudzoziemiec · « **Reply #4109 on:** 10 February, 2011, 07:01:36 pm »

I like that very much.

Pompino last Sunday

Tail End Charlie · « **Reply #4111 on:** 10 February, 2011, 09:41:44 pm »

Pomps are great. Yours is no exception. Like the bar tape

Cudzoziemiec · « **Reply #4112 on:** 10 February, 2011, 09:51:57 pm »

Like the road sign!

The bike's nice too.

My new Van Nicholas Yukon. It arrived just before Christmas, and since then has been sitting in my bedroom (I have had the builders in until last week, nowhere else to put it!)

If weather permits, I will be taking her out on a short jaunt to Richmond park next Saturday, then probably a DIY on Sunday.

When it arrived I was amazed by how light it was, so I have made a deliberate effort to get it audax-ready without piling on the pounds. Instead of the rear rack and rack-pack I used last year I got this little Ortlieb saddlepack, which I reckon should be good for up to a 300km. After that, a small Carradice will probably be required. 9.5kg as pictured. Just need to add a front light.

Very nice indeed

New hood (black, instead of red that it was supplied with by mistake), handlebar (Azor Transport bar - semi-square bend), pedals (Pedalites) and mudguard lights (PDW fenderbots).

Thanks guys. Really looking forward to a summer of cycling goodness

Phil, I have no idea how you have resisted riding that bike all day every day since you got it.

Windy, Bob looks like he wants to go his own way.

The latest update to Rosie, Lady V's Look 555:

That's proper tidy.

Vigorelli?

IanDG · « **Reply #4124 on:** 14 February, 2011, 08:36:50 pm »

Cheers Tewdric, not a vigorelli, an old 70's road frame, bought off the forum - can't remember who from now - and renovated
